Before the exciting but grueling Fashion Week schedule kicks off this September in New York, models and designers are stealing away for some much-needed summer sun (so they can work and party all the harder when they return!). Vogue asked some jet-setting friends where in the world they’re choosing to head to, from nearby getaways to far-flung tours. So if you’re still deliberating on an idyllic location, consult our A–Z for the most stylish and, sometimes, original options out there. . . . Anguilla, a small Caribbean island, is where you’ll find Miranda Kerr. She’ll take a few days’ vacation after shooting the Victoria’s Secret campaign there. Biarritz is Sophie Theallet’s first stop before heading on to San Sebastián and Bagnères–de-Bigorre. Big Sur always begs a road trip, and Vena Cava’s Sophie Buhai plans a four-day drive along the famed West Coast route.

Corsica calls Lily Donaldson forth, but the British model will also make a pit stop in Iceland during her ten-day break. A European tour of “must-see places” starts in Paris, continues in Prague, then Vienna, Barcelona, Istanbul, and finally Bodrum for Liya Kebede. Another European tour! But Vena Cava’s Lisa Mayock takes a different route: First comes Barcelona, then on to Marseille for a drive through the South of France before ending up in Italy. Staying close to home on New York’s Fire Island is where Derek Lam likes to spend every weekend throughout the summer months. This year marks his three-year holiday ritual! Formentera, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, is where you’ll find British designer Erdem relaxing this summer. Hatillo in Puerto Rico lures modern beauty Joan Smalls. She’ll enjoy the spectacular views of her hometown before heading off to Costa Rica. Cuba’s capital city, Havana, was London designer Hannah Marshall’s recent prime summer escapade. Kauai in Hawaii is the perfect place for Raquel Zimmermann and friends to take their summer surf lessons. A secluded holiday home in the mountains of Kea (Greece’s Cyclades Islands) is Francisco Costa’s summer hideout. Lamu in Kenya is where Suno’s design duo, Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty, will sail through the mangroves and take time out. The Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan is a regular family haunt and the perfect sailing spot for Matthew Ames. Long Island, New York, has been Michael Kors’s trusted holiday abode since the mid-1990s. He’s planning two weeks there this summer. Marrakech is where Monique Péan recently took an eco-friendly break at Riad El Fenn. Mérida’s delicious cups of Cuban coffee, combined with Mexico’s cultural flavor, never fail to entice John Patrick. Narrowsburg, New York, along the Delaware River, was Gary Graham’s getaway and where he found an abandoned fun park with a miniature volcano on his recent trip. Ocho Ríos and Kingston in Jamaica are where the Cushnie et Ochs girls (Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs) stole away for carnivals and parties earlier this summer. Panambi in South Brazil is where Caroline Trentini grew up and also where she’s headed to catch up with family and see her friend’s baby’s christening. A Peruvian tour is Sasha Pivovarova’s recess of choice. She’ll hit Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and Colca Canyon. Riviera Maya in Mexico is where Richard Chai plans a pre–Fashion Week hiatus at Esencia hotel.. The island of Santorini in Greece is where Doutzen Kroes is taking her mother for culture and relaxation. Skagen, at the northern tip of Denmark, is where Camilla Staerk can’t wait to go for wild scenery and summer parties.
